Send "Desert Pete" Ringtone to your Cell Desert Pete Artist: The Kingston Trio (peak Billboard position # 33 in 1963) Words and Music by Billy Edd Wheeler I was travellin` West a buckskin on my way to a cattle run Cross a little cactus desert under a hot blisterin` sun I was thirsty down to my toenails, stopped to rest me on a stump But I tell ya I just couldn`t believe it when I saw that water pump I took it to be a mirage at first, it`ll fool a thirsty man Then I saw a note stuck in a bakin` powder can `This pump is old`, the note began, `but she works so give`r a try` `I put a new sucker washer in `er, you may find the leather dry` `You`ve got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe` `You`ve got to give of yourself `fore you`re worthy to receive` `Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet` `Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete` `Yeah, you`ll have to prime the pump, work that handle like there`s a fire` `Under that rock you`ll find some water I left in a bitters jar` `Now there`s just enough to prime it with so dontcha go drinkin` first` `You just pour it in and pump like mad, buddy, you`ll quench your thirst` `You`ve got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe` `You`ve got to give of yourself `fore you`re worthy to receive` `Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet` `Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete` Well I found that jar and I tell ya nothin` was ever prettier to my eye And I was tempted strong to drink it, cuz that pump looked mighty dry But the note went on `have faith my friend, there`s water down below` `You got to give until you get I`m the one who ought to know` So I poured in the jar and I started pumpin` and I heard a beautiful sound Of water bubblin` and splashin` up outta that hole in the ground I took off my shoes and I drunk my fill of that cool refreshing treat I thank the Lord and thank the pump and I thank old Desert Pete `You`ve got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe` `You`ve got to give of yourself `fore you`re worthy to receive` `Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet` `Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete` `Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet` `Leave the bottle full for others, Thank You kindly, Desert Pete` Transcribed by Ronald E.
